Still a bit alleviated that this book was published in 2019. It is sad this isn't the main conversation pushed, due to the prevailing of the politics criticised here. You have a division, even among, alleged experts, where some parrot status quo nonsense, and then people like this who are actually capable of observing reality and the results it has and continues to provide.

@nahotakamiya Trying to place gays and pedos as a similar phenomena makes no sense when they're exactly inverse. Child marriage was legal when gays weren't accepted, and it isn't when gay's were becoming accepted.

Child marriage was outlawed because of "women's rights" movements in the early 20th century, and became super taboo in the late 20th century from sociologists and psychologists making up standard bullshit, then the same people pushed for the normalisation of homosexuality.

@applejack It is more complex than that. It wasn't exactly all against paedophilia and for homosexuality, as it is now.
@applejack It used to be that gay liberation was tied with the liberation of children, etc. and thus sympathising with paedo liberation efforts which naturally advocated and also adopted radical liberation efforts and inquired about the concept of modern childhood and it's consequences.

@nahotakamiya Ye, but I've always seen that as pederasts hitching a ride more than anything else.

It makes sense with the blind acceptance worldview, but only when it's held as not inherently harmful, which make's the acceptance redundant, which is why the social justice angle has always been harmful to pedos.

"Jewish sociologists say it's harmful for kids, and acceptance means being nice, so we can't allow this"

@applejack To be fair, the book deals less with paedo politics per se as a main topic and more about how these, among others, have affected our conception of Modern Childhood, specifically their agency relating to sexuality. The book also, though from a differing perspective makes similar criticism about the how the whole social justice politics have been detrimental.
